Get your walking style down with our 4 quick tips…

Because walking is something that comes naturally, we generally don’t consider our “technique”. But, just like any other type of workout, if you’re doing it wrong, you can strain your muscles, and waste a lot of energy unnecessarily, too.

Focus on your footwork. Start each step by striking off from the heel, rolling through to your toe, then pushing off. Remember the golden rule, if you want to go faster, take smaller steps, rather than longer ones!
